At the heart of Martha’s Vineyard, the former haunt of whale hunters, you’ll find a captain’s house in the traditional British style. Built in 1864, The Charlotte Inn transports you to another time, and you can’t help but be swept away by its romantic atmosphere. The staff is courteous and alert to every detail. There is a new kind of luxury here: no computers or cell phones are allowed except in guest rooms. The suites have been exquisitely decorated with antique lamps and silk or linen fabrics. Between glasses of iced tea on the flower-filled patio, discover the beautiful island and explore its famous lighthouses and beaches, ideal for water sports and sailing.

Nestled in London's prestigious Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, The Chelsea Townhouse has created spacious rooms and suites across three neighboring redbrick Victorian properties. They are part of an identical enclave of buildings surrounding Cadogan Gardens, one of a small number of private parks in the capital normally only accessible by residents with a key. However, in a highly exclusive arrangement, the hotel’s Drawing Room and select suites offer guests direct access to the leafy gardens. Meticulously restored, the hotel seamlessly blends British charm with contemporary elegance. With marble fireplaces, gilded mirrors, old engravings, plush carpet, and eclectic juxtapositions–an Art Nouveau pedestal table paired with an Empire dressing table, say–the decor evokes a cozy and quirky British style, making the townhouse feel like a particularly high-end guest house. Under its high ceilings, large windows offer abundant natural light and views over the trees in the square. Chelsea's charms are not far beyond, with iconic shopping destinations including Sloane Street and The King’s Road just footsteps away, and a host of cultural attractions including the Saatchi Gallery, Buckingham Palace and the Natural History Museum close by. The service is as discreet as it is attentive, and with its blend of timeless charm, modern luxury, and access to London's finest attractions, The Chelsea Townhouse offers an unparalleled experience in the heart of the city.

The Cove Eleuthera hotel lies along two enchanting private coves edged in white sand on the island of the same name in the Bahamas. Scattered across verdant acres of sun-warmed tranquility are gleaming white lodges built like Bahamian homes. They hold a handful of suites, furnished in contemporary style with understated, soothing colors, along with four villas, three of which have private pools. The two restaurants, both with panoramic views, serve a variety of cuisines in which the only thing competing with the creativity of the chef is the freshness of the ingredients. Enjoy an Asian-inspired menu at Freedom Restaurant & Sushi Bar or grilled fish served on the terrace at Gregory Town Grill, along with a tropical cocktail at The Point Bar as the sun drops slowly into the ocean. Daytime activities at The Cove Eleuthera include coral-reef diving, paddleboarding, sea kayaking, hiking and birdwatching, a relaxing massage at the spa, or a yoga class to greet the rising sun.
